  Their pottery early on matches Greek pottery from the same period.

  Despite the Pharaoh&apos;s boasts, it sounds like Egypt made a compromise with the invaders, giving them a swath of land on the frontier, bribing them, and getting some kind of fealty in return.<br>A bit like the French did with the Normans, or what the Romans did with some invading tribes they couldn&apos;t quite deal with.<br>Not so much utterly destroying them in war, as claimed.

  When archaeologist reached the early Philistine level of Ashkelon it became evident that these people were if Minoan/Mycenaean decent due to the artwork on their pottery, clothing styles and other pieces found, after the eruption of Hera the Minoans were devastated due to their ports cities and fleets being destroyed by the tsunamis that hit them during the and after the eruption, not long after the Mycenaean&apos;s came and conquered them and took over.

  One theory is that the tribe of Dan were Danaens (an archaic Greek name for themselves). Greek populations were likely trying to relocate into the Levant after a number of cataclysmic stresses on the Greek mainland. And Pharaohs employed a number of these foreign peoples as mercenaries. Most cities in the Levant likely had growing communities of these foreigners. Egypt did since the Middle Kingdom, i.e. the Sea Peoples weren’t really just a sudden phenomena.
